BJP to talk tough on status of J&K

BJP to talk tough on status of J&K Cruising on the wave of nationalism after the Balakot air strikes, the BJP is all set to show its toughened approach to the constitutional status of Jammu and Kashmir in its Sankalp Patra or election manifesto that is expected to be released soon.

According to sources, the party is looking to play up the issue of total integration of J&K in India in its Sankalp Patra. It is expected that the manifesto will put down, in unequivocal terms, that if the party comes back to power, it will remove or amend Article 370 and Article 35 A of the Indian Constitution that guarantees J&K its unique status, thus fully integrating the conflict-ridden state with the country.
